Why is smoke coming out of my washing machine drum?

Consequently, why does my washer smell like burnt rubber?

Overheating Motors. Whether the main drive motor is connected by a belt or by a direct coupling to the tub, overloading the washing machine can put enough stress on it to cause it to overheat. This also produces a burnt-rubber smell, albeit one tinged with the smell of burning electrical components.

One may also ask, how do I fix a burnt smell in my washing machine? Then there's too much friction when the belt goes around it, which results in a burning smell. Unplug the washer and check the motor pulley, the transmission pulleys and the pump pulleys, too, for this problem. Replace any or all of these pulleys and belts if they are rough, rusted, dirty, worn, distorted, or damaged.

Furthermore, what happens when a washing machine motor burns out?

Worn bearings can place a heavy load on a motor and cause it to burn out prematurely. With the motor sleeve bearings, improper cleaning of the motor accelerates bearing wear. Unfortunately washing machine motors are not designed to be disassembled and repaired, so you have to replace the motor.
